Designed by Max Friz and introduced in 1923, the first BMW motorcycles were fitted with 493cc horizontally opposed twin-cylinder sidevalve engines. The 750cc models, the R62 and R63, reached the market in 1928. The R62 retained the sidevalve configuration while the sports oriented R-63 had a shortstroke overhead-valve powerplant coupled to a stronger gearbox with a kickstart mechanism which became the standard for the marque for the next 50 years.
The front brake was more powerful, and electric lighting was now standard across the range.
A modified version the R-63 was ridden by Ernst Henne when he achieved a worl speed record in 1929.
